[Tex/LaTex] Editorial Manager latex compiler not building correctly

compilingnatbib

I am submitting a manuscript for submission to a springer journal through editorial manager, and all I get back is pages of code when I attempt to compile. I am not sure what the problem is. The editorial manager lists XeLatex as an available compiler, which is the compiler I am using. I have all Figures, bibliography (.bib) and style files in the same directory as the manuscript.tex file (no subfolders). I get a ton of these errors popping up:

Package natbib Warning: Citation `eckbreth1996laser' on page 9 undefined
on inp
ut line 483.

If anyone has a solution please let me know! See more code attached below (first 4 pages, will post more if needed. It wouldn't let me attach any more).

thanks

Best Answer

I had a similar problem for an Elsevier article (based on elsarticle-template-num.tex). What worked for me was to embed the bib data into the .tex file, as in Bibliography style with elsarticle.

Add the content of your .bib file AFTER the document class, for example before your preamble). Below, just one reference was added, but you can have as many as needed.

Also, make sure you use the same file name in the filecontents enviroment and in the command of bibliography, in the example below 'fileName.bib' and 'fileName', were used respectively.

Example:

\documentclass[preprint,12pt]{elsarticle}

\begin{filecontents*}{fileName.bib}

@article{gosling_mice_2001,
    title = {From mice to men: what can we learn about personality from animal research?},
    volume = {127},
    issn = {1939-1455},
    doi = {10.1037/0033-2909.127.1.45},
    number = {1},
    journal = {Psychol Bull},
    author = {Gosling, Samuel D},
    year = {2001},
    keywords = {animal personalities, cross-species comparisons},
    pages = {45--86},
    ,
}

\end{filecontents*}

<YOUR PREAMPLE>

\begin{document}

<YOUR CONTENT>

\bibliographystyle{elsarticle-num} 
\bibliography{fileName}

\end{document}
